This interest stack is a compendium of MyAnimeList best ranked mangas as for january 2025. This interest stack only includes mangas, meaning that other stuff such as light novels or one-shots are excluded from here.
This is because it's focused in those users who aren't interested on other reading formats and just want a simple and convenient way to look for those mangas which are considered by the community to be the best of the best.
Although I haven't yet read all of them, the mangas here presented are included for a good reason, so enjoy and good read!

For the badge-based item entries in the yearly Manga Reading Challenge. As there is an entire decade's worth of MRC events with a myriad of badges provided by various talented artists, this will be a multipart stack. All series are marked with their respective first badge year.

Note: If you don't see a title from a specific badge in a given year here, it's either in a previous part or I failed to find the source for it. My apologies if it's the latter.
